One of our state normal schools an
nounces ii q circular that it has ..ta ken
. stand no other school has been rash
enough TO attempt. s It might be better
to be less rash and little more con-
siderate, even for advertising purposes.
The next legislature ought to provide
for little ventilation to remove the gas
which is rapidly accumulating in our
state institutions. The spirit Of self
suficiency which for several years has
been peryading the atmosphere Of
state schools, is inconsistent with true
scholarship. The mere fact that the
st. Cloud normal school offers "a larg-
er amount of professional work than is
offered in any other normal school in
the United States is meaningless to
those who measure work by its quality
rather than by its quantity. The time
may come when the head Of that insti.
tuition will perceive that even normal
school must stoop to conquer.

That all common carriers should re-
spect the rights of the public without
discrimination.
That this association demands RI.
dical reform in the system of transpor-
tation. giving equal rates to all persons
and places based upon distance without
reference to terminal points or jobbing
centers.
That we favor the absolute enforce
ment Of the interstate and state law and
oppose the suspension of the long and
short haul clause.
That we call the attention of the state
commission to the freedom of traffic
law and ask them to allow no unjust
transfer charges, excluding the people
of Minnesota from Lake Superior mar
kets.
That Lake Superior and the Missis-
sippi are NATURES great highways and
any attempt to deprive inland towns of
access to them on reasonable terms
should be severely condemned.
That the proper basis Of rates is reas-
enable profit and interest on the actual
cost of building and operating the roads,
and when the income is more than this
a reduction of the rates should be made.
That we call on the commission to in
vestigate the matter of watered stock
and estimate the actual capital invested.
That we recognize Minneapolis, St.
Paul, and Duluth as points at which
business interests of this limitless en-
pire naturally center, but that rates
continue to be so exorbitant as to pro-
hibit waterway transportation from
them, which is q crime against the peo-
pie.
That less than unequivoca1 concession
of these just demands would be tray-
esty on justice, and that we pledge de-
termined opposition to overthrow these
wrongs now impoverishing the people,
depopulating the rural districts and
driving manufa cturing anb business en-
terprises to distant business centers.

ed benefit they should be owned only

Albrecht I. OF Germany was very
unjust emperor. He could not see
things as other people saw them. This
can perhaps be explained by the fact
that he was one-eyed. He lost his eye
in singular way, characteristic Of the
good old times. In 1895, during the
rule of his predecessor and rival, Adolf
phus Of Nassau, he attended the diet at
Nurnberg. Being indisposed one day,
he believed that he had been poisoned
by his political enemies. He was i'm.
mediately subjected to the treatment
then customary in such cases. One of
his eyes was destroyed, and he was
hung up by his feet for some time, that
the poison might flow out with his
blood. Surviving the operation, he
firmly believed that his life had been
saved by it.

Mr.. BLAINE AND HIS WRITING.
How He has Employed Himself Since Last
Campaign-He viii not Write More.


New York World Interview
'Do you find that your power OF mental
and physical endurance were impaired by
the strain OF the last campaign"
81 think not. For six weeks during my
Western trip i did a great deal of hard
work. I made 1876 speeches in six weeks
and was travelling all the time. My hard
est day was when / made twenty-nine
stump speeches in one day. OF course the
speeches were only from ten to twelve or
fifteen minutes in length, but such guam
tity Of them were harder than one or two
long ones. A short stump speech is more
wearing than one of an hour or more, be-
cause YOU must cut of all introduction and
condenss ahundred facts into ten sentences.
Well, / travelled through the West for
six weeks, and on Novsmber 6, two days
after the election, i became convinced that
Mr.. Cleveland was to be given majority
of the electTal votes and began that day on
my book. For fourteen months / wrote
fifteen pages of foolscsp manuscript every
day. felt no Ill effects from the work Of
the campaign and began immediately writ
ing my book without feeling the need Eof
any rest whatever.
at took me about an equal time to write
the second volume of my book-a little
longer, in fact because there were some
10000 more words in Volume III. After |
had finished that looked over my speeches
and other documents and have put them
in shape and edited them for publication.
/ have included in this last compilation
some matters outside which has bearing
on the subject matter and some diplomatic
correspondence which took place while I
was Secretary of State. ALI this work has
occupied me fully since the campaign. l
believe that a mind agreeably occupied is
about as necessary to good health as any
thing else. A dull or rusty mind or one
occupied with matters not TO the taste is a
very bad thing"
Don't you consider that an author OF
books of general interest, which are gener.
ally read by the public, is in q sense pub
lie mani"
81 hardly think so. / am not public
man, Private LIE undisturbed By intrp.

West Point Dancing Glasses.
lst. Nicholas for June.I

lSt. Nicholas for june
One of the morning duties at West Point
is the dancing lesson. Each class has an
hour a day allotted to it. The dancing
master calls the dance, the pianist strikes
up a lively tune, and the cadets revolve
and gyrate in couples about the room.
They can hardly fail to become good
dancers when all enter into the spirit of it
with so much heartiness. The dancing
master is the jolliest of short, fat French
men.

he chants the numbers, while the whole
roomful of boys move as he directs. Sud-
denly he sees cadet leaning against the
wall, and he darts across the room to him.
"Ah, Monsieur, w do you not dance"
Cant get the STEP" is the reply.
"Ah, ct is very easy! l will get you a
partner" And away he goes to another,
who also has difficulty with the step, and
painting and red IN the face, brings him to
the scene. "Now, Mees Fisher, allow ne

A Good Word for Mr. Gordon.
IGree Star Press

One is always well pleased to note fact
calculated to be of interest and bene-
fit to the public, hence it is pleasure for
us to announce that Hon. John r. Gordon,
of this city, has been appointed trustee of
the Indiana Asylum for the Blind, vice
Howard Briggs, whose term has expired.
The appointment came to Mr.. Gordon
without solicitation, either directly or in
directly, by himself or friends-he was
selected by Governor Gray for the place be-
cause of his eminent fitness for the posi-
ton. HIS character, morally and
socially, is without reproach. He
is not common drunkard,
gambler, and debauche, and this
is something that eau not be truthfully
alleged of some of bis predecessors in Of
fee. By reason of education, business
tact and unquestioned honesty ne assumes
heofice equipped with all the necessary
qualities to administer it in the interest of
the State and its sightless wards, hence the
people of tie State are to be congratulated
on securing so good a public official, the
Governor IS to be congratulated on max
ing so wise choice, and Mr.. Gordon is to
congratulated because of the fact that
these pleasant facts may be given to the
public in print.

LAID AWAY TO REST.
Funeral Services Over the Remains OF Ex-
Vice-President Wheeler.

NEW YORK, June THE obsequies over
the remains of ex-Vice-P President Wheeler,
our honored and beloved fellow townsman,
are being held in the Congregational
Church, every available foot of space in the
large edifice being occupied. All the bust
ness places were closed at noon for the re-
mainder OF the day. The body remained
at the house until Tuesday morning, when,
at 10 o'clock, after prayer, il was moved to
the vestibule If the church, where it laid
in state and was viewed until l O'Clock.
and the school children, their teachers and
hundreds of others had an opportunity to
look upon the well known features for the
last time. The psll-bearers were ID, w.
Lawrence, II. A. Taylor, @. @. Gleason,
William A. Short, Thomas r. Kane and ].
]. Seaver, old and lifelong friends OF Mr.

The large auditorium is beautifully
draped with profusion of Grape and Ma
tional flags and a wealth of flowers adorned
every appropriate place. The services were
begun by an invocation by Pastor @. S.
Richerns. A choir sang a beautiful an
them which had been the favorite of Mr.
Wheeler, entitled Jerusalem the Golden. :"
A portion of scripture was read by Rev.
Mr. Lewis, pastor of st. Marks, and prayer
was offered by Rev. ]. W. AshWorth,
pastor of the First Baptist Church.
The choir then sang Mr.. Wheeler's IA
vorite hymn:
Come unto me when shadows darby gather,
When the sad heart is weary and distressed"
The pastor then preached an eloquent
sermon from the text "And they shall
bring the glory and honor to the Nations
to it."
After a discourse on the text Mr.. Rich
ardson discussed the character of the late
Mr.. Wheeler as a citizen, patriot and
christian. at the conclusion OF an inter
estiDg and impressive ceremony the funeral
cortege was formed and, under escort of the
Twenty. Separate Company, wendell
its way to the beaunful ceme' cry east of the
village, and he is now at rest beside the
remains OF his wife and kindred, who pre-
coded him many years ago.
Among the distinguished gentlemen in
attendance were Ex-President R. B Hayes
and his son Webb, General William A.
Dart, of Pottsdam; General n. Martin
Curtiss, Senator Charles S. Knapp, of
Louisville, and Ex-Governor ]. G. Smith,
